Last 2 meetings we talked about Strand 3.11 Robotics, a bit of Artificial intelligence and expert systems.

Watch the following links below so that you will get more ideas on how these things work.


Expert Systems

These are computer systmes which contains knowledge of an human expert. They are designd to solve simple and complex problems by reasoning like an expert.

Simulators

Web 2.0


We also talked about Web 2.0.

According to Wikipedia.com it is the feature of the web that facilitates information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design and collaboration. It is PROUSERS.

According to Webopedia it is the WWW that is focused on the ability of people to collaborate and share information online. That Web 2.0 refers to the transition from a static HTML pages to more dynamic web that is more organized and is based on serving web applications to users.

According to Web 2.0 Summit, Web 2.0 is about harnessing collective intelligence.

In the table below, list down 2 Web 2.0 application that is in the market. Each one of you should add 2 Web 2.0 applications.
